I'm not sure how one calls it a religion of peace when it was spread by the sword. Christianity had its moments where conquest = conversion, but the highest calling a Christian could have was to be a missionary in some far off land to teach the 'true faith'. They faced death and perhaps worse, but thats the church ideal. Christianity spread far without bloodshed, while the Islamic world is limited mostly to the extent of their conquests.
Its very peaceful on paper IF you are a muslim, if not, good luck.
